Awesome GTO that has been extremely well cared for with a very
careful restoration completed approximately 20 years ago. Within
the documentation that we have are photos of the various parts of
the restoration process which are labeled with dates, PHS
Documentation, paint code lists, and an original owner's manual. A
428ci V8 replaces the original 389 that the car left the factory
with, but retains the 4 speed manual transmission. Fontaine Blue
paint and Parchment interior trim look the part on this classic
GTO. GM's advertising boasted that the only way to tell a real
tiger from a pussycat was to drive one - a GTO that is. The factory
correct Fontaine Blue (code D) looks great on the body lines of
this classic Pontiac. The body is in great condition from tip to
tail. Body panels all line up as they should, chrome and trim is in
great condition, and the lights and corresponding bezels are in
great condition. Factory correct Parchment seats (code 218) provide
a nice contrast to the Fontaine Blue exterior. Highlights of the
interior are three spoke steering wheel, push button radio, wood
veneer dashboard, factory tach, and black carpeting. During the
restoration process a 421ci V8 that was bored to a 428ci was
installed under the hood. A 4-speed manual transmission handles
gear selection and 3 Rochester carbs handle fuel air mixture. The
engine bay is highly detailed and very clean. Just as the car left
the factory, Redline tires are wrapped around the 14 wheels. The
car has drum brakes on all four corners as well as power steering.
The underside of the car is nicely detailed and clean. On the road,
this car runs like a pent up caged animal that has been freed. Make
room in your garage for this classic, clean, and documented
Pontiac. It's truly a jaw dropping classic muscle car to consider
for your collection. Be sure to check out all the photos and video

e-mail with any questions. Thank you for looking. VIN Decoder: 2 -
